Periodic Reporting for period 1 - Mobiclock (Development and characterization of an ultra-high performance mobile optical atomic clock based on lattice-trapped atoms)

Teaser

The goal of this project was to develop transportable optical clocks of high accuracy in order to enable the application of the new technique of relativistic geodesy.This promises a higher accuracy and higher time resolution compared to conventional techniques.

Summary

The goal of this project was to develop transportable optical clocks of high accuracy in order to enable the application of the new technique of relativistic geodesy.
This promises a higher accuracy and higher time resolution compared to conventional techniques.

Work performed

Finalization of the design of a bi-chromatic magneto-optical trap.
The manufacturing of a vacuum chamber in-house.
Procurement of most of the relevant components.
Assenbky if the vacuum chamber and first tests.
Manufacturing and optical tests of metal mirrors.

Final results

None, because of early termination of the project by the fellow.
